My dodge has been running fine latley, but In the last week I have put more than 5 quarts of oil in it and it just
disappeared no oil back up in the valves no oil in the engine no parts are covered. Im at a loss. Also it will not pass DEQ the codes are reading P4001 or something all pointing to the gas cap but I replaced that and the engine light is still on. Also when the car idles at 2000 rpms it raddles. What could all of this be.

Is there blue smoke coming from the exhaust? Five quarts in a week doesn't just dissapear. Make sure it isn't making its way to the cooling system. Also, make sure the oil filter isn't leaking or the oil sending unit. It has to be going somewhere.
